Text z alba The Album (1977)
(B. Andersson / S. Anderson / B. Ulvaeus)
I’ve seen you twice
in a short time -
only a week since we started
It seems to me
for every time
I’m getting more openhearted
I was an impossible case
no one ever could reach me
But I think
I can see in your face
there’s a lot you can teach me
So I wanna know
What’s the name of the game -
does it mean anything to you?
What’s the name of the game -
can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please
’cause I have to know
I’m a bashful child
beginning to grow
And you make me talk
and you make me feel
and you make me show
what I’m trying to conceal
If I trust in you
would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me?
If I said I care for you
could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know
the name of the game!
I have no friends
no one to see
and I am never invited
Now I am here
talking to you -
no wonder I get excited
Your smile
and the sound of your voice
and the way you see through me
Got a feeling
you give me no choice
but it means a lot to me
So I wanna know
What’s the name of the game -
does it mean anything to you?
What’s the name of the game -
can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please
’cause I have to know
I’m a bashful child
beginning to grow
And you make me talk
and you make me feel
and you make me show
what I’m trying to conceal
If I trust in you
would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me?
If I said I care for you
could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know
Oh yes I wanna know
the name of the game
